Birmingem, ichida G'arbiy Midlend, bo'ladi Britaniyaikkinchi eng katta shahar. Viktoriya davrida "Ming savdo shahri" va "Dunyo ustaxonasi" nomi bilan tanilgan, Brum mahalliy aholi shaharni chaqirganidek, buyuk xarid qilish va madaniy yo'nalish sifatida 21-asrning tiklanishidan zavqlanmoqda. Shaharga mezbonlik qiladi 2022 Hamdo'stlik o'yinlari.
Tushuning
Birmingem (the h jim turadi) ning markazida edi Buyuk Britaniyaning sanoat inqilobiva uning boyligi ko'p miqdordagi savdo-sotiq asosida qurilgan edi. Bu Venetsiya yoki Amsterdamga qaraganda ko'proq kilometrlik kanallar bilan ulkan kanallar tarmog'iga olib keldi (garchi ular turli xil kanal turlari bo'lsa ham).
Blits paytida shahar markazining katta qismi vayron bo'ldi va uning o'rnini bosadigan binolar shaharga ozgina qo'shildi. Biroq, 1990-yillardan boshlab Birmingem tubdan o'zgarib, urushdan keyingi binolarning ko'pi almashtirildi. Hozir shahar markazining aksariyat qismi piyodalar uchun mo'ljallangan bo'lib, kanallar tozalanib, jozibali o'tish joylarini yaratdi. Mahalliy aholi shahar Kengashini o'zgartirish uchun kredit berishadi, chunki shahar o'zining zamonaviy merosini saqlab, zamonaviy va istiqbolli ko'rinishga ega.
Shaharning taniqli uyushmalari HP Sauce, Toni Hancock, Cadbury shokolad, Lunar Society (ularning tarkibiga Jeyms Vatt va Metyu Boulton ham kirgan), Black Sabbath, UB40, Jasper Carrot and Spitfire and Mini (avtomobil, etek emas) .
Birmingemda ko'plab adabiy uyushmalar mavjud - nafaqat JRR Tolkien, balki Rip Van Vinklni bu erda singlisining oilasi bilan birga yozgan Vashington Irving va Birmingemdagi tibbiyot talabasi bo'lgan paytda Sherlok ko'chasida skripka sotib olgan Konan Doyl. Mualliflar Jim Crace, Judit Katler va Devid Lodj ham rezidentlardir.
Ning yaqin joylari Shropshir, Uorvikva Stratford-Upon-Avon "olde" ning stereotipik tasvirlarini ko'proq taqdim eting Angliya. Biroq, Birmingem o'zining ko'plab sayyohlik ob'ektlariga ega, tungi hayot juda qiziqarli va xarid qilish, shubhasiz, tashqaridan eng yaxshi narsalardan biri London.
Birmingemning hududlari
Birmingem shahri metropoliten tumani bugungi kunda mavjud bo'lib, bir necha yillar davomida tarkibiga kiritilgan eski Birmingem shahrini o'rab turgan juda ko'p sonli shahar va qishloqlarni o'z ichiga oladi. Natijada, shahar Kengashi Evropa Ittifoqidagi eng yirik mintaqaviy organ bo'lib, 120 ta maslahatchi 10 ta saylov okrugi (okrugi) deb nomlangan bo'lib, 40 ta bo'limga bo'lingan. Shuning uchun, agar biron bir qiziqish joyi rasmiy ravishda Birmingemda bo'lsa ham, u shaharning markazidan ancha uzoqda joylashgan bo'lib, u erda alohida kichik shaharcha yoki hatto qishloq paydo bo'lishi mumkin. Tez-tez manzillarni topishda yordam berish uchun shahar atrofi, shu jumladan beriladi. Birmingem manziliga ega bo'lgan har qanday joyga shaharga borganingizdan keyin osonlikcha kirish mumkin deb o'ylamang.
Birmingemning ma'lum bo'lgan ba'zi tumanlari va bo'limlari kiradi Aston (Aston Hall va Aston Villa futbol jamoasi joylashgan uy) Edgbaston (Birmingem Universitetining asosiy yotoqxonasi joylashgan joyda), Longbridge (MG zavodi bilan) va Selly Oak (ikkinchi darajali talabalar shaharchasi va talabalar shaharchasi). Birmingemning shahar markazi rasman Ledivudning palatasiga tushadi, uning o'zi haqiqiy markazga unchalik aloqasi yo'q.
Metropolitan tumanidagi boshqa sohalar kiradi Perri Barr, Satton Koldfild va Mozli.
Birmingemning markazi rasmiy ravishda A4540 deb nomlangan ikki yo'lli avtomagistral bilan chegaralangan, shuningdek O'rta halqa yo'li. Sobiq Ichki halqa yo'li, yoki A4400, shaharsozlik muvaffaqiyatsizligi deb qaraldi va uning qismlari demontaj qilindi va qayta ishlab chiqildi. A38 shahar markazidan, qisman yer ostidan o'tadi. Birmingemning markaziy nuqtasi Viktoriya maydonidir. Asosiy temir yo'l markazi Nyu-Strit stantsiyasi, ulkan Bullring savdo markazining yonida joylashgan bo'lib, u ham yo'naltiruvchi mayoq bo'lib, boshqa ko'chma temir yo'l stantsiyasiga - Mur ko'chasi tomon olib boradi.
Birmingem shahar markazini turli xil xususiyatlarga ega bo'lgan bir nechta hududlarga bo'lish mumkin:
- Asosiy shahar markazi - Nyu-Strit stantsiyasidan shimoli-g'arbga, A38 chegaralari bo'ylab cho'zilgan va Birmingemdagi urushgacha saqlanib qolgan tarixiy binolarning ko'p qismini, bir qator muhim muassasalarni va Nyu-Strit yoki Kolmor Rov kabi tarixiy bosh manzillarni o'z ichiga oladi.
- G'arbiy tomoni - Nyu-ko'chaning janubi-g'arbiy qismida va sobiq Ichki halqa yo'lidan tashqarida va Birmingem markazidagi qolgan ko'plab kanallarni o'z ichiga oladi. Ular bilan bir qatorda juda yangi o'zgarishlar ro'y berdi, jumladan Xalqaro Kongress Markazi yoki Birmingem kutubxonasi kabi fuqarolik binolari va Brindleyplace yoki The Mailbox singari ko'p funktsiyali tijorat loyihalari.
- Eastside - Yangi ko'cha stantsiyasidan janubi-sharqqa, yoki aniqrog'i yaqin atrofdagi Strit stantsiyasining orqasida joylashgan maydon. Uzoq vaqt davomida ishlatilmaydigan Curzon stantsiyasini o'z ichiga olgan ushbu ilgari sanoat hududida hozirda katta shaharsozlik loyihalarining bir qismi sifatida qayta qurilishi amalga oshirilayotgan, foydalanilmagan, tozalangan erlarning katta qismi mavjud. Ulardan ba'zilari allaqachon qurib bitkazilgan, ammo ko'plari hali ham shaharning ushbu qismiga zamonaviy, ammo qurilishi tugallanmagan ko'rinishini berishni boshlashadi
- Janubiy - Yangi ko'chaning stantsiyasining janubi-sharqidagi qismi an'anaviy ko'chalarni saqlab qoladi, tor ko'chalar bo'ylab kichik binolar mavjud. Uning bir qismini Birmingemning Gey qishlog'i va Xitoy kvartali egallaydi.
- Deritend va Digbet - Bullring markazining to'g'ridan-to'g'ri sharqiy qismida joylashgan hudud sanoat va sanoatgacha bo'lgan me'morchilik merosini o'z ichiga oladi va u ijodiy hamma narsaning markaziga va Birmingemning Irlandiya kvartalini ham o'z ichiga olgan juda yoqimli hududga aylandi.

- Zargarlik buyumlari kvartali - o'z nomiga sodiq qolgan kvartaldagi ustaxonalar hanuzgacha Buyuk Britaniyaning zargarlik buyumlarining 40 foizini ishlab chiqaradi va mamlakatdagi eng yirik tahlillar idorasi va bir nechta muzeylarni o'z ichiga oladi. Shunday qilib, u Birmingemning boshqa sanoat qismlari tomonidan yo'qolgan 19-asrdagi ko'rinishini saqlab qoldi va o'zi sayyohlik markaziga aylandi.
- Qurol kvartali - zargarlik buyumlari kvartalining shimolida va o'nlab yillar davomida qurol-yarog 'ishlab chiqarish bilan tanilgan, ammo hozirda tijorat yoki munitsipal manfaat ko'rmayapti va sayyohlar uchun ham unchalik qiziq emas.
- Mozli shahar atrofi Moseley qishlog'ining aksariyat qismi Viktoriya davriga to'g'ri keladi va tabiatni muhofaza qilish joyidir. Bundan tashqari, Alcester Road-dagi Moseley Hall kasalxonasida buni oldindan belgilab qo'ygan kaptarxona ham mavjud. Yil davomida ayrim yakshanba kunlari jamoat uchun vaqti-vaqti bilan ochiq. Shahar markazidan 50-raqamli avtobusga o'ting - u to'g'ridan-to'g'ri Moseley yo'li (A435) bilan Moseley qishlog'iga boradi. Sayohat taxminan 15 daqiqa davom etadi. Shu bilan bir qatorda, Cannon Hill Park Gooch ko'chasida to'xtab turadigan 1 yoki 35 raqamli avtobuslarga o'ting

Samolyotda
1 Birmingem aeroporti (BHX IATA) (shahar tashqarisida, ichida Solihull, Birmingem markazidan taxminan 8 milya (13 km) sharqda). Shaharga va qolganlariga xizmat ko'rsatadigan yirik aeroport G'arbiy Midlend mintaqasi tez-tez xalqaro reyslar bilan; 2020 yilga kelib Buyuk Britaniyada mahalliy reyslar kamroq. Buyuk Britaniyaning va Evropaning barcha yirik yo'nalishlaridan kuniga bir nechta to'g'ridan-to'g'ri kelishlar, shuningdek, olis joylardan bir nechtasi. Dehli, Doha, Dubay (kuniga ikki marta), Orlando Sanford, Amritsar, Islomobodva Ashxobod. 
Erkin odamlarni tashuvchi "Air-Rail Link" aeroport yo'lovchilar terminalini Birmingem xalqaro temir yo'l stantsiyasi bilan ertalab soat 5:15 dan 2:00 gacha bog'laydi; u har ikki daqiqada ishlaydi va sayohat vaqti ikki daqiqadan kam. Birmingem xalqaro temir yo'l stantsiyasidan poezdlar Nyu-Strit stantsiyasiga har 5-15 daqiqada soat 6:05 (dushanba 8:45) dan 23:15 gacha davom etadi. Safar tezkor yoki mahalliy (to'xtash) xizmatga ega bo'lishingizga qarab 10-20 daqiqa davom etadi va bir tomonga 2,50 funt sterling (ekspress xizmat - faqat Avanti poezdlari) yoki har qanday xizmatda amal qiladigan chiptaning bir tomoniga 3,60 funt turadi.

Barcha NXWM avtobuslari uchun kunlik chiptani (Daysaver) 4 funt sterling (9.00 gacha 4.60 funt) sotib olish mumkin, ammo uni ham sotib olish mumkin €5 har qanday aeroport xizmatida. To'liq o'zgartirish kerak. Agar guruh birgalikda sayohat qilsa, 8 funt evaziga Group Daysaver 5 kishini bir kunlik cheksiz sayohat uchun qoplaydi.
National Express murabbiylari har yarim soatda aeroportga har tongda xizmat ko'rsatishadi, bu esa ertalabki reyslar uchun juda qulaydir, chunki poezdlar odatda ertalabgacha harakatlanmaydi. Narxlar uning oldindan band qilinganligiga qarab o'zgarib turadi, ammo o'rindiqlar mavjud bo'lganda murabbiydan chipta sotib olish mumkin.
Aeroportdan Birmingem markazigacha bo'lgan taksi 20-30 daqiqa davom etadi va uning narxi 22,00 funt sterlingni tashkil qiladi.
Milliy ko'rgazma markazi aeroportga tutashgan bo'lib, unga Birmingem xalqaro stantsiyasi orqali Air-Rail aloqasi orqali kirish mumkin.
Aeroportda yo'lovchilarni tashlab ketadigan avtoulovlar kamida 3 funt sterling miqdorida to'lovni to'lashlari kerak. Bunga yo'lovchilarga to'lovni o'tkazadigan taksilar va xususiy yollanma mashinalar kiradi. Birmingem xalqaro temir yo'l stantsiyasiga tushirish orqali to'lovni oldini olish mumkin, bu erda hech qanday haq olinmaydi va keyin Air-Rail bog'lanishidan foydalaniladi.

Poezdingizni New Street stantsiyasida topishga ko'p vaqt ajrating, chunki bu juda katta va juda chalkash. Ko'pgina platformalar (treklar) bo'limlarga bo'linadi (masalan, 4A, 4B va 4C platformalari) va turli yo'nalishlarga yo'naltirilgan ikkita poezd bir platformadan jo'nab ketishi odatiy hol emas, shuning uchun kerakli maydonda kutib turing, yuqoridagi ekranlarda platformada va to'g'ri poezdga o'ting! New Street Station so'nggi daqiqalardagi platformalarning o'zgarishi bilan mashhur, shuning uchun zinapoyalarga yaqin joyda kutib turish va axborot ekranlari va PA e'lonlariga diqqat bilan qarash tavsiya etiladi, chunki stantsiyaning qarama-qarshi tomoniga faqat jo'nashiga bir necha daqiqa qolganda!

Chiltern yo'nalishi tobora ommalashib bormoqda, chunki infratuzilmaning yaxshilanishi eng tezyurar poezdlarning G'arbiy Sohil xizmatlaridan Nyu-Stritga nisbatan sekinroq emasligini anglatadi, bu odatda arzonroq va yanada chiroyli va Merilbone va Mur ko'chalari nisbatan kichik stantsiyalar bo'lib, ular hali ham Viktoriya shtatining ko'p qismlariga ega. Euston va Nyu-Stritga etishmayotgan joziba.

Other architecture
Birmingham holds a wealth of architectural heritage from different eras, including also buildings with no touristically viable function. Some of them are listed below.
- 22 BT Tower, Lionel St. Completed in 1966, it is the tallest structure in Birmingham at 152 m, and serves solely as the support for some 80 transmission antennas mounted atop it. It has no viewing platform or other accessible floors at all, but it can serve as a landmark and orientation point as it is clearly visible from many parts of town. Its square profile sets it apart from many other similar structures in the world
- 23 Library of Birmingham, Cambridge St / Centenary Square. M-F 8AM-8PM, Sa 9AM-5PM, Su 11AM-4PM. The new ziggurat-shaped library building at Centenary Square was opened in September 2013 to replace the very controversial brutalist Birmingham Central Library in Paradise Circus, which incidentally employs an inverted-ziggurat design and was demolished in 2016. It is the single largest public library in the UK and one of the largest in the whole of Europe. The project, which involved years of planning and preparation and a major architectural contest, was hailed as the cornerstone of Birmingham's urban revival. The building was designed by the Dutch firm Mecanoo architecten, and took four years to be completed. It includes an intricate facade decoration, despite the very simple form of the building, as well as a number of innovative sustainable solutions. To explore the building take the lift to the top (9th) floor to see the Shakespeare Memorial Room, a fine wooden panelled library, which used to be in the city's library built in 1882. There is also a viewing window to look over the city. There are outside garden spaces on the 7th and 3rd floors which give different city views. The four lower floors house the public library, laid out in an impressive style. Free.
- 24 Bell Edison Telephone Building (The Exchange), 17 & 19 Newhall Street. A signature, Grade-I-listed, building for the red-brick-and-terracota Victorian style prevalent in the late 19th century in Birmingham, which lacked natural stone and battled sooting problems due to air pollution. It is also a symbol of modernisation of Birmingham, as it was built to house the Central Telephone Exchange for the city; the logos of the Bell-Edison company are still visible within the building. As the telephone exchange relocated many decades ago, the building now houses offices and a bar.
- 25 The Old Crown, 188 High St, Deritend. The Old Crown lays claim to being the oldest building in Birmingham (allegedly standing there since 1368), and retains a timber-framed construction, rare to find in the city. Saved from demolition multiple times, it remains an operational pub until today.
- 26 Curzon Street station. The Curzon Street station was the original main railway station of Birmingham, offering connections to London since 1838 and to Liverpool and Manchester since 1839. It was quickly overshadowed by the first Birmingham New Street station, built in 1854, and saw less and less traffic, becoming a goods station only in the 20th century, before being put completely out of use in 1996 with its tracks later dismantled. The only surviving remainder is one wall, and the original station entrance building, which is Grade I listed and quite elegant in form. As of 2019, it stands next to an open plot of land which is awaiting redevelopment as the terminus for the HS2 railway. The building is not open for visiting and only occasionally hosts arts events and such.
- 27 Rotunda. The Rotunda is the only surviving part of the 1960s Bull Ring centre, devised as a 25-storey office building in a round shape, from which it derives its name. In many ways, it was a groundbreaking and daring engineering and architectural feat when it was constructed, and because of its significance it became Grade II listed. In the 2000s, as the Bull Ring centre was redeveloped, the Rotunda was thoroughly refurbished into a residential tower with 232 luxury apartments. Those on floors 19 and 20 are available for short term stays via Staying Cool, who operates them. The building is not accessible to the public.

- 32 Birmingham School of Art (Birmingham Institute of Art and Design), Margaret Street. Built in 1885 in High Victorian red brick style as a new seat for the Birmingham School of Art, the building retains its original function as its original occupier survived several educational institution mergers and is now the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design within Birmingham City University. The building itself is Grade I listed.
- 33 Victoria Law Courts (Magistrates' Court), Corporation Street. A prime example of Birmingham's red-brick-and-terracota architecture, covered not only with deep red terracota on the outside, but also with rich terracota decorations on the inside. Located in the grand Corporation Street among other buildings similar in style. First opened in 1891, it continues to house a court of law, the Birmingham Magistrates' Court.
- 34 Methodist Central Hall, 196-224 Corporation Street. The hall was built in 1904 in a similar red-brick-and-terracota style to the Victoria Law Courts it faces. It is distinguished by its tall tower. It also retail premises at street level, some with original shop fronts. The building ceased to perfom its original function and has been converted into a very large night club. It is Grade II listed.
- 35 Hudson's Coffee House, 122-124 Colmore Row. The former coffee house is a rare, Grade I listed, example of a wall-to-wall townhouse in the Arts & Crafts style. It was built to house offices of the Eagle Insurance Company in 1900.
- 36 Red Palace, 1-7 Constitution Hill. A thin corner building in the red-brick-and-terracota style was devised to house industrial workshops, with incorporated machinery and infrastructure. The building, distinguished by its ornamental tower at the very corner, ended up housing consecutive ethnic restaurants, most recently Syrian.

Xavfsiz bo'ling
Buyuk Britaniyaning qolgan qismida bo'lgani kabi favqulodda vaziyat qo'ng'iroq qiling 999 yoki 112 (agar iloji bo'lsa, shahar telefonidan) va ulanganda tez yordam, o't o'chiruvchi yoki politsiyani so'rang. Favqulodda bo'lmagan politsiya masalalari bo'yicha, masalan, jinoyatlar sodir bo'lganligi, yo'qolgan narsalar haqida xabar berish va h.k. 101.
Umuman olganda, Birmingem xavfsiz shahar. Biroq, aksariyat yirik shaharlar singari, yaxshi va yomon joylar mavjud. Shahar atrofidagi ayrim shaharlarda (quyida ko'rib chiqing) qurol bilan bog'liq jinoyatchilik muammolari bo'lgan, ammo agar siz o'zingizni katta miqdordagi giyohvand moddalar to'dasi muammosiga aylantirmasangiz, bu sizga ta'sir qilishi ehtimoldan yiroq emas. Arzon dori-darmonlarni taklif qilishdan saqlaning, chunki sizni tanho joyga olib borib, keyin o'g'irlashingiz mumkin.
Birmingemdagi muggerlar ikki yoki uch kishilik guruhlarda ishlashga moyil, odatda bittasi sizga savol beradi (mahalliy ekanligingiz yoki zarba berish ehtimoli borligini aniqlash uchun), boshqalari sizning orqangizda harakat qilishganda sizni erga majbur qilishlari mumkin. Agar buni siz bilan sodir bo'layotganini ko'rsangiz, yon tomonga o'ting, shunda siz aniq qochish yo'lingiz bor va orqangizdan ushlab bo'lmaydi.
Shahar markazi yaxshi politsiya bilan jihozlangan. Guvoh bo'lishingiz mumkin bo'lgan yagona muammo - bu Broad Street tungi hayot mahallasidagi kichik janjal, tungi klublar erta tongda paydo bo'lgan. Biroq, transport oqimi tezlashadigan Broad ko'chaning har ikki tomonida ham ehtiyot bo'ling.
Shaharning ikkita professional jamoasi o'rtasida futbol uchrashuvlari bo'lib o'tganda, shahar markazidan uzoqroq yurish tavsiya etiladi. "Aston Villa" va "Birmingem Siti" ning ba'zi muxlislari bir-birlariga shafqatsiz va xom nafrat bilan qarashadi va ular o'rtasidagi ziddiyatli to'qnashuvlar o'yin kunlari odatiy hodisa. Boshqa kunlarda, jamoalar o'z uylarida boshqa jamoalarga qarshi o'ynaganda, shahar markazida katta zo'ravonlik yuz berishi ehtimoldan yiroq, ammo siz futbol tarafdorlarini hayqiriq bilan to'ldiradigan pablar bilan uchrashishingiz mumkin va bu qo'rqinchli bo'lishi mumkin (va juda bezovta qiluvchi) sayyohlar uchun.
As usual, common sense will keep you safe, avoid walking alone in deserted or poorly-lit areas, especially at night, keep your wits about you at cash machines, and do not get into unmarked taxis. Private hire cars must be pre-booked; black cabs may be hailed. The only higher crime-rate areas that tourists might want to visit are Aston and Sparkbrook: even these are fairly safe during daylight. Canal towpaths at night, if relatively near a road access point, can also be hazardous.
Avoid people who offer you a free "stress test" (especially in New Street, near the junction with Ethel Street) as they are trying to recruit you into the Church of Scientology.

- London — Avanti G'arbiy sohil is the main operator of trains between London and Birmingham with trains every 20 minutes and a journey time of around 1 hour 20 minutes. They are operated by fast (up to 125 mph) and modern Pendolino trains. These can be cheap if you get an Advance fare from £5 single, but if you are buying tickets on the day or there are no cheap tickets left, it may be worth using one of the two other operators listed below. Chiltern temir yo'llari va London Midland run frequent half-hourly/hourly services between Birmingham and London. These take noticeably longer than Avanti West Coast, 1 hour 40 minutes - 2 hours 20 minutes, but cheap flexible tickets at around half of the Avanti price can be bought at any time. For example an Off-Peak adult return ticket from London to Birmingham costs £23 (Super Off-Peak) with London Midland, £28.90 (Super Off-Peak) with Chiltern Railways, but £50.50 with any operator. Both Megabus va National Express run several services an hour to London, and competition has lowered the cheapest fares to £1 or less.
